Engagement ring?

Question

Will a 6 prong setting be too overwhelming for a .50 carat diamond? I was looking for a picture of a similar ring on a finger, but didnt have any luck..

Answer 1

I would talk to a jeweler. My ring is 6 prong and so is my sister in law's. Mine is a carat; hers is 3/4 carat. It looks fine on hers.

My guess is it would be fine...six prongs tend to be more secure.

Answer 2

It's your personnal choice.  Do you like something that looks a little more bold or stronger, or something thinner and less obvious.   Ask a jewelry maker who does custome stuff to work something up on a computer.  We did this for our wedding rings.  It didn't cost us anything for him to work it up, he may already have something he can show you to compare.

Answer 3

No, it would look fine -

Answer 4

I have a .44 with 4- prongs.  My husband picked that one so that more light could enter under the stone,  I don't think that a six prong setting would be overwhelming at all.

Answer 5

yes, i think so.

Answer 6

Mine's a .86 carat, and six prong, and looks fine...

Plus the jewler recommended six prong to my hubby, cause it was safer....

I've seen smaller stones on six prong, and they look fine....:
